According to reports brought to this
city, Oregon Jones, held in the county
jail at Grants Pass, has started to
"back track" on his confession admit
ing participation in the Blackwell Hill,
auto robberies in and near this city
last October. A 20-year sentence, im
posed by Judge Charles M. Thomas on
his alleged partner in crime. Ellsworth
Kelly, is said to have caused Jones to
have a change of heart, who now
maintains his confession covering a
wide field of criminal activity, "was a
fairy story." His brother Dewey, is
now on trial, for bis alleged share in
tho holdups, and with Kelly escaped
from the Josephine county jail, and
were recaptured In Wyoming ten days
ago.
Oregon Jones, who is 21 and "hard
boiled," while in a pentltent mood led
the officers to two caches of loot, and
for the last week or ten days has been
going out daily, under guard, to find
another one, which so far he has been
unable to locate. On these trips,
Oregon is 'hobbled', his keepers tak
ing no chance on a break for liberty,
even though Jones refused to accom
pany his brother and Kelly on their'
dash, but instead ran to the home of
Sheriff .Lewis to tell him of the get
away. Oregon told the deputy sheriff that
In his holdups, he only hit one vic
tim, and that was Sprague Reigel of
Gold Hill. Jones said Reigel "was
trying to show off, and I cuffed him
with a blackjack." One of these licks
got Reigel on the head and he had a
sore wrist from stopping the other,
one,1 aimed at tbe same spot.
Another time Jones and Kelly were
going down tbe Pacific Highway to
wards Grants Pass in a Ford car,
when In the twilight they saw a car
parked at the Ray Gold dam, contain
ing a pair of roadside spooners. They
heldup the couple and Jones described
tho incident, "as tho funniest thing I
ever saw in my life." This holdup
was not reported to the authorities.
In his comession -Jones says he
stole a handgrip from a passenger
coach belong to Jack Schrader of Ash
land, a finger print expert, and
founder of the Southern Oregon Iden
tification Bureau. Jones catalogued
this as a notable feat and in the pur
ported confession turned over to Sher
iff Terrill describes it as follows:
"Will state that revolver used in
this holdup was loaned to him by me.
I got this. gun,, from a small black
handgrip which I had stolen from a
coach in train No.' 16 at Grants Pass
several months before this night. This
grip belonged to passenger brakeniau
Jack Schrader who was a finger print
expert. I just took' the gun and some
small tools from the grip, then I threw
the handgrip and contents in tho river
about one mile south of Grants Pass
station. The grip however did not
go into the river as it caught on some
brush."
